Habitat
Fresh jumbo prawns inhabit a diverse range of coastal ecosystems in Pakistan. As juveniles, they thrive in brackish water estuaries and navigate the intricate mangrove areas, finding refuge among the protective roots. In addition, as adults they move into coastal waters, preferring shallow areas with muddy or sandy bottoms.
Their presence also extends to tidal creeks and lagoons in Sindh province, where the mix of salt and freshwater creates an optimal environment for feeding and breeding. Moreover, they flourish in the warm tropical waters and find sanctuary in seagrass beds, contributing to the rich biodiversity of Pakistan’s coastal habitats.
Catching Method
Our team uses safe and sustainable fishing methods. In addition, we catch jumbo prawns using bottom trawls, cast nets, bag nets, and beach seines. Consequently, you receive seafood that is fresh, healthy, and responsibly sourced.
